Cooking Know-How

Trim both ends of each cooked potato before cutting in half and scooping out centers. This will help the filled potato shells stand upright in the muffin pan cups.

Make Ahead

Fill potato shells as directed but do not bake. Refrigerate up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, bake, uncovered, at 350°F for 40 to 45 min. or until heated through. Top with bacon and broccoli.

I have made this recipe for many special occasions.I have made this recipe for many special occasions. It is a little time consuming but can be made ahead and baked at serving time. It serves as a main course of twice baked potato or a delicious appetizer of stuffed potato skins. Get creative with toppings. I never used the broccoli, but have included green onions, bacon, various shredded cheeses, or spiced them up a bit with Mexican toppings such as cilantro, pepperjack cheese and a dab of salsa. I have them ready for a holiday party with friends tonight...topped with red bacon bits and chopped green onions. Festive!

Try using low-sodium chicken broth instead of milk - another saving of calories & fats.
A great lunch to-go, heats quickly in the office microwave and the Kraft 2% Sharp cheddar cheese makes this a comforting, low-cal way to dine. Make up a bunch - try various veggies on top - left-overs work great. Take two - they're small !

For my husband's favorite, I substitute ranch dressing for the milk (and to taste) and stir bacon, cheddar cheese and freshly chopped chives directly into the mixture. Bake until heated through; top with additional cheese and broil until lightly browned.

I used leftover pepper cheese squares and also put the ingredients in individual custard cups to bake. I was very pleased with the results. I will make it again when I have leftover mashed potatoes.

My 14 year old ate more than her share as well. This one is really a keeper.

What an awesome idea for the boring plain baked potato!What an awesome idea for the boring plain baked potato! My kids absolutely loved them. My family is big on sour cream, so some on top was great. I think next time I will throw some Oscar Mayer Real Bacon Bits to the potato mixture.
